Max Payne 3 debut trailer shoots firsts, asks questions later

It's been nearly a decade since Max Payne last shot his way through the hearts of action gamers. What's he been up to?

Slumming it in Brazil.

The first trailer for Max Payne 3 has arrived, painting a grim picture of the troubled ex-detective. No longer in New York, Max is now something of a mess in the seedy city of Sao Paolo, where he's been hired to protect a wealthy family. Mostly that will involve lots of stylish, slow-motion shootouts, violent bad guys, and, apparently, head shaving.
